Preschool Songs

Singing is a great way to enjoy music with your children. My children love it when I sing with them, no matter how bad I sound. We sometimes include our names in the songs, or invent silly lyrics.

Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder,
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Repeat once slowly, once quickly, and again, as fast as you can.

Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques,
Dormez Vous? Dormez Vous?
Sonnez les matines. Sonnez les matines.

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John,
Morning bells are ringing, Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, ding, dong! Ding, ding, dong!

I hear thunder, I hear thunder,
Oh, don't you? Oh, don't you?
Pitter, patter, rain drops. Pitter, patter, rain drops.
I'm wet thru! I'm wet thru!

Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Everywhere a quack, quack.

Pop Goes the Weasel

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
POP! Goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes.
POP! Goes the weasel.

Six Little Ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones, too,
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a "quack, quack, quack."

"Quack quack quack. Quack quack quack."
He led the others with a "quack, quack, quack."

Down to the water they would go,
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, to and fro,
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a "quack, quack, quack."

"Quack quack quack. Quack quack quack."
He led the others with a "quack, quack, quack."

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
